Conduct Risk

In recent years Conduct Risk has become an area of significant regulatory focus, with an increasing onus on firms to define and manage Conduct Risk explicitly as part of their risk management framework.

Conduct Risk focuses on the essence of a firm from product design to handling customer complaints. It drives to the heart of the behaviors, culture, morals and ethics of people at all levels of the organization.

There is a commonly held misconception that the issue of Conduct Risk applies only to the retail environment. The FCA places equal emphasis on conduct within the wholesale sector, and in particular, the pivotal role of wholesale conduct in ensuring the integrity of markets.
